No, there are plenty of idiots led by the media.

any prick can insult someone on a public forum

Very true. It doesn't make you not an idiot though.

And am I the only one boycotting Amazon because they aren't paying CT?

It's a con to pay for delivery as most of the items I order arrive 1-2 days with free supersaver delivery.

In fact when I've paid for next day delivery I often have to ask for a refund as the items arrive 2 or 3 days later.

I needed something from Amazon quick, was going to pay but saw their free trial - signed up and it was delivered late. Needless to say I cancelled.

I found this place Online Shopping Australia - Buy men's & women's clothing, DVDs, toys, perfume and more online - dstore.com . They will accept UK cards and deliver to Aussie addresses. Don't know if they're any good as I only ordered on Sunday.

nice find. We had to post our stuff over a couple of weeks ago.

Why is there no Amazon.com.au? Seems like a trick they're missing. Friggin' nightmare trying to get pressies delivered for Oz branch of the family.

Check here ( myByBox - Home ) to see if you have a ByBox in your area. I found it behind the XScape in Milton Keynes and it uses similar containers to the Amazon service but you can route any package to it. It takes an extra day or so to turn up but I'd rather have that than the parcels left sitting at the front door which is what happens here.

It's free for the first month and then after that you can go PAYG after that..

I have one waiting for me at the sorting office. I walked up yesterday afternoon, but there were 8 people queuing and I decided I couldn't be arsed.

Everything else I buy from Amazon just comes through the letter box. Don't understand why this one (a DVD) needs to be signed for.

If his situation is anything like mine, then delivery to the home address results in one of the following scenarios:

• ...
• Ask Amazon for a redelivery or refund because the useless ***** of Home Delivery Network (aka Yodel) have stolen it/thrown it under a bus/sold it for drugs.

... or sent it back marked "Address does not exist".

I don't need anything in that much of a hurry. I can wait 4 days for most things to arrive.

WHS. I think I can hold out that extra day or two for my copy of Javascript: The Definitive Guide (or similar)

Oh and I rely on my neighbours to sign for my deliveries but it works both ways.

Yes Amazon seem to be buying them and using them.

I don't think they'll be buying these though seeing as they belong to one of the worlds largest mail and logistics companies. Maybe the Post Office could try something like that out

Apparently Amazon in the US have been buying up more mega warehouses as part of their plan to offer same-day delivery as standard, at least in major urban areas.

[eek]

Don't you have anything like this in the UK. 24 hours, works with a TAN, can track your parcels, used for pickups and deliveries...
